Great Engine Keith!
I had Keith Craft build me a 408 stroker last fall as I began building my Lone Star Cobra. It sat on the floor or the frame for what seemed like forever. The car build was taking longer than expected. Well... here is the short version of the engine startup from 2 weeks ago.

I'm the guy bald/gray headed by the driver door.  I had two mechanics there helping just to make sure I didn't screw something up.
Sounds great Keith!.  Now to get it finished and on the road.

Yes, great engine. Since May 2005, I made 9000 miles with his 482 Shelby Alu block without any problem and with great performances. What a healthy engine!!
